Chapter 82

Zhan Chen dragged his tired steps back. Along the way, he was still thinking about the letter that Ling Aoxue left him. The meaning of the letter was really thought-provoking, as if it would never return.

Just as he thought of this, he shook his head fiercely and laughed at himself, "Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen, you are obviously thinking too much. Ling Aoxue just can't accept that I have returned to the Flowing Water Sect for a while. We will meet again soon."

He began to force himself to think of some positive aspects, and this way, it really was a lot easier.

Back in the sect, Zhan Chen rested in his courtyard for a few more days. Only then did he adjust his mentality and reignite his passion for cultivation.

After pulling himself together, he came to the Flying Cloud Hall of the Flying Cloud Peak and paid his respects to his master.

Seeing him come, Zhao He's eyes bloomed with excitement, and he could not help but exclaim, "You really broke through!"

"It's all thanks to Master's care." Zhan Chen bowed to pay his respects.

"Haha, I just did what I could. Your achievements today are mainly due to your own hard work."

"Master, I came here today to ask how to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm." Zhan Chen directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Martial Honorable Realm?" Zhao He muttered, but his eyes showed a look of reminiscence.

"Yes, Master. How should one break through?" Zhan Chen asked again.

Zhao He then reacted and said, "Breaking through to the Martial Honorable Realm is not easy. It requires long-term planning. Breaking through from Martial Master to Martial Honorable Realm actually only takes a moment, but for this moment, most people spend decades of effort."

"To break through to the Martial Honorable Realm, one must compress all the Qi in one's body into the Dantian and condense it into Essential Yuan."

"The so-called Essential Yuan is the liquid form of Qi, but its concentration is dozens of times that of Qi. The process of breaking through to the Martial Honorable Realm is the process of converting all the Qi in one's body into Essential Yuan."

Through Zhao He's explanation, Zhan Chen basically understood how to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm, but he seemed to see that Zhao He had more to say.

As expected, Zhao He continued, "However, it is not easy to compress all the Qi in one's body. It requires the cultivator's meridians to be strong enough, and it also requires a deep accumulation."

"If the meridians are not strong enough and rashly compress the Qi, it will cause damage to the meridians. Once it fails, the Qi will backfire and may even cause the meridians to break. If one rashly compress the Qi without a deep accumulation, one will not be able to successfully convert the Qi into Essential Yuan, and the result will definitely be a failure.

"Moreover, the more accumulation before breaking through, the Qi, the purer the Qi will be after. Furthermore, this step is related to whether you can break through to the Martial King realm or even higher realms in the future. Therefore, you cannot be careless.

"Perhaps you have already discovered why so many Great Perfection Martial Master disciples in our sect do not choose to break through. It is because they are waiting for the moment when they can leap through the dragon's gate."

Zhan Chen finally understood the Samadhi. It wasn't that everyone didn't want to break through, but they all wanted to strengthen their disciples.

"Master, how did you break through to the Martial Honorable Realm?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.

"It took me 30 years to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm," Zhao He sighed.

"30 years! No way! "Zhan Chen exclaimed.

"Why? Did you think it was too long?" Zhao He looked at him and asked.

Zhan Chen remained silent.

Zhao He continued to explain, "Don't be surprised. Most people need more than 50 years to break through from the Martial Honorable Realm to the Martial Honorable Realm. I'm already considered very fast."

"You should know that the average lifespan of a Martial Disciple is only 100 years, while a Martial Master can live up to 200 years. After breaking through to the Martial Honorable Realm, a Martial Master can live up to 400 years. I used 30 years in exchange for a lifespan of 200 years. What's there to be dissatisfied about?"

"Even if you spend 50 years, or even 100 years, you will be lucky to break through. However, out of every 30 Martial Masters, only one is lucky enough to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm."

Zhan Chen asked unwillingly, "Is there any shortcut?"

Although it was reasonable to spend more than 10 years to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm, it was still too long for Zhan Chen, who was eager to become stronger.

Zhao He smiled mysteriously and answered, "There is!"

"What is it?"

"It is the Secret Territory of True Martial that will open in a year's time! There are countless fortuitous encounters inside. If you enter and obtain some kind of opportunity, you will be able to greatly reduce the time needed to break through. "

"Secret Territory of True Martial?" When Zhan Chen heard his master mention this term again, he couldn't help but clench his fists. He was determined to get it!

"However, there are also countless risks hidden in the Secret Territory. More importantly, there are no restrictions of etiquette. Fierce battles and even internal killings between disciples of the same sect can happen from time to time. Do you understand what I mean?" At this point, Zhao He's expression suddenly became serious.

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "You mean to tell me to be fully prepared, right?"

"That's right. Do everything you can to strengthen yourself. Only in this way can you win in the fierce competition for treasures!"

After the two of them talked for a while, Zhan Chen left the Soaring Clouds Peak.

In the cultivation room, Zhan Chen held his breath and adjusted his state to the best. He wanted to try to compress the True Qi in his body once to see how difficult it would be for him to break through to the Martial Honorable Realm with his current accumulation.

Next, he began to unceasingly operate the "Golden Elephant True Skill" to further consolidate his True Qi. Finally, Zhan Chen began to make up his mind. He tried to control the True Qi in his Dantian and compress it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to combine the True Qi in his Dantian. There was even a large amount of True Qi left in his meridians. Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead. He felt that his strength was slowly disappearing. He was gradually losing control of his True Qi. In his heart, he felt that this was not good.

Sure enough, the compressed True Qi bounced back and quickly attacked his Dantian and all his meridians. Fortunately, after listening to his master's words, he was already prepared. Otherwise, his meridians and even his Dantian would have been injured.

After one experiment, Zhan Chen finally weighed his own strength. He could not help but reveal a bitter smile as he thought to himself, "It seems that I am still very far from the Martial Honorable Realm. In the future, if I am not fully prepared, I really cannot try to break through so easily!"

"Next, what else can I improve in?" Zhan Chen could not help but think. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, "That's right! After breaking through to the Martial Master Great Completion, I still have not absorbed the Metal Qi! "

As a top grade Heaven Ranked Martial Skill, the "Formless Golden Body Method" could become more powerful by absorbing the Metal Qi before breaking through to the next realm. Therefore, this was a Martial Skill that could grow. Its power would become more and more heaven-defying as one's cultivation increased! After breaking through to the Martial Master Great Completion, the defensive power of the Daluo Golden Body alone would increase by a whole five levels!

Zhan Chen hurriedly took out his Qiankun Bag and searched it, hoping to find some refining materials. However, the result was very disappointing. Apart from the Tiger Roar Sword, there was no other metal in his Qiankun Bag.

"It seems that I have to make a trip to Shannan Town to buy some refining materials. That's right, as an elite disciple, I have an income of 50 Middle Grade Primordial Stones every month. I also have more than a million Merit Points left. These can all be used to exchange for refining materials. "Thinking of this, he could not help but lick his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Zhan Chen had been so busy with cultivation that he had forgotten to receive his monthly salary. After realizing this, he rushed straight to his room...

Not long after, he returned with a happy smile on his face. An elite disciple was indeed rich! At this time, there were more than 600 Middle Grade Primordial Stones in his Qiankun Bag. There were also four pieces of Third Grade refining materials that he had exchanged with his Merit Points.

"I will absorb these refining materials first. If it is not enough, I can use Middle Grade Primordial Stones to purchase more at Shannan Town!"

Thus, he picked up a piece of refining material and began to circulate his cultivation method. Gradually, a wisp of sharp metal Qi entered his meridians …
